Dude lives in the middle of nowhere. There's nothing wrong with Comcast not offering him service, there's something wrong with them claiming they did when they didn't.

Additionally, the homeowner should have been more diligent that his home in the middle of nowhere, with no cable box, would actually have cable.

Internet over 4G really isn't that expensive, and that's what he uses now. I'm surprised that doesn't work for him.

True, I was simplifying. But basically he just said he ate less and exercised. Why would this be a hack? It's just common sense. A hack implies some kind of clever nerdy invention.

The bro-science book that says you should eat 6 meals a day? It has some good ideas on lifting at home if you are poor and can't afford weights or a gym membership, but that's about it. Later, the author went to jail for transporting loaded assault rifles across state lines.

So you weigh only like 45 kg/100 lbs? Do you even lift, bro?

Wow! The guy ate less calories, and he lost weight!

I meant solid state external hard drive, of course.

While I think the basic premise is a little silly, I imagine a $200 fanless laptop is powerful enough to run Plex (I run Plex Server off an old Mac Mini, and never have had any problems).

Depending how much space you need, get a solid-state SSD or even SD card, put some kind of basic protection about it (a cheap laptop bag?) and throw it in your crawlspace.

My Plex server runs fine over wifi (with the router right next to it), but I still have it connected to Ethernet. I imagine that could be a problem with higher bitrate movies.

Holy crap, and the GM of Toyota probably doesn't go on record as being a fan of Ford's latest offerings, either.

The people telling you this are salesmen, trying to attach race-car prestige to a $40,000 coupe with incremental upgrades.

Almost all electric cars don't have a traditional gearbox. A Fiat 500e doesn't. Also, gearboxes (or maybe a CVT) are something you want. I'm sure for $2 million it's nice, but it's not anything worth caring about.

Qualcomm invented the cell phone.

I would go too google.com and enter '-slashdot Mouse/Pointer For a Person With Poor Motor Control.'

I want to interject that "My Sweet Lord" and "He's So Fine" are the EXACT SAME FUCKING SONG. Same melody, structure, and everything. Basically a cover, except you take out the cool girl group singing "sha la la" and add in some Hare Krishnas singing the Hare Krishna mantra.

If this had been made in Brazil, Chinese companies would still have copied the basic design. You can also get fake rolexes in China, and those are made in Switzerland (according to 3 seconds of Googling).

They didn't use the same factory, so the country of the original is a basically irrelevant point.

You could easily spend more than $5000 getting braces or plastic surgery.
